Holocaust Deflection and Whitewashing

Holocaust Deflection and Whitewashing

August 9, 2009 | Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld
Holocaust deflection entails admitting that the Holocaust happened while denying the complicity or various types of participation of countries, specific groups, or individuals despite ample evidence to the contrary. Major examples of deflection occur in those countries where, during the war, Germans were helped massively in the killing, deportation, and despoliation of the Jews.
